According to The African Chief:
I understand that RHIDE was written in C/C++, with a port of Turbo Vision to DJGPP. If this is correct,
It is. Borland doesn't allow free distribution of C-TV, but everybody is allowed to download it directly from Borland. Unfortunately, this does *not* hold for Pascal-TV, AFAIK. :-(
is there a GPC port of Turbo Vision, or is one being worked on? Can the C version somehow be used with GPC?
Certainly it can, but one must re-write each method of each object to call a C++ method with a rather cryptic AsmName. It will be much easier to port the Pascal TV to GPC. Having that, we can distribute a `diff', so all owners of Borland's TV can patch their source to work with GPC. While I am not an expert on this, I don't think that this violates Borland's copyright.
*And* it will be easy to port the whole thing to Linux because we can "steal" the system-dependent stuff from C-TV for Linux. :-)
Is there a GUI library that is suitable for use with GPC?
I am working on one. Planned completion: End of 1996. Estimated completion: Well ... ??? :-(
